Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A senior Buddhist teacher offers fundamental body-based meditation practices that prove enlightenment is as close to you as your own body Many of us experience life through so many conceptual filters that we never recognize the freedom and joy that are inherent in us—and are in fact the essence of who we are. We can grow old not realizing that one of the most powerful tools to escape the painful knots we tie ourselves in is, literally, at our fingertips: our body. With The Awakening Body, Reggie Ray cracks open the shell of the mind-body dichotomy and presents six fundamental body-based practices that connect us back to who we really are. These practices cut through the mental fabrications through which we experience our world and lead us directly to the richness of living a fully present, embodied human life. This book includes a link to free downloads of recorded guided practices.

Book excerpt: A groundbreaking exploration of the neuroscience of spirituality and a bold new paradigm for health, healing, and resilience—from a New York Times bestselling author and award-winning researcher “A new revolution of health and well-being and a testament to, and celebration of, the power within.”—Deepak Chopra, MD Whether it’s meditation or a walk in nature, reading a sacred text or saying a prayer, there are many ways to tap into a heightened awareness of the world around you and your place in it. In The Awakened Brain, psychologist Dr. Lisa Miller shows you how. Weaving her own deeply personal journey of awakening with her groundbreaking research, Dr. Miller’s book reveals that humans are universally equipped with a capacity for spirituality, and that our brains become more resilient and robust as a result of it. For leaders in business and government, truth-seekers, parents, healers, educators, and any person confronting life’s biggest questions, The Awakened Brain combines cutting-edge science (from MRI studies to genetic research, epidemiology, and more) with on-the-ground application for people of all ages and from all walks of life, illuminating the surprising science of spirituality and how to engage it in our lives: • The awakened decision is the better decision. With an awakened perception, we are more creative, collaborative, ethical, and innovative. • The awakened brain is the healthier brain. An engaged spiritual life enhances grit, optimism, and resilience while providing insulation against addiction, trauma, and depression. • The awakened life is the inspired life. Loss, uncertainty, and even trauma are the gateways by which we are invited to move beyond merely coping with hardship to transcend into a life of renewal, healing, joy, and fulfillment. Absorbing, uplifting, and ultimately enlightening, The Awakened Brain is a conversation-starting saga of scientific discovery packed with counterintuitive findings and practical advice on concrete ways to access your innate spirituality and build a life of meaning and contribution.

Download or read book Somatic Descent written by Reginald A. Ray and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful meditation practice for connecting with your body's innate, guiding wisdom. Have you ever had a "gut feeling" about a certain person or situation? Or a sense of intuition about how to respond to a particular challenge in your life? There's nothing magical or mystical about those kinds of scenarios. In fact, our body contains immense wisdom not directly available to our conscious mind, and it is continually communicating to us in the form of bodily feelings, impressions, sensations, corporeal intuitions, and felt senses. However, because most of us are so cut off from our somatic experience, we are quite unaware of this dimension of our body's expression. Although this intelligence may feel hidden most of the time, the wisdom of the body can actually be a guide for us in living our lives fully and also in responding compassionately to others. Through a meditation practice called Somatic Descent, Reggie Ray shows us how to connect with our body's intuitive intelligence. In Somatic Descent we see that the body is always showing us what sort of response, direction, or action may be called for at any given time, and can in fact be relied upon as a primary practical resource for decision-making in our everyday life. The book will include links to online audio recordings of the guided meditations to further aid the reader.

Download or read book Awakening the Energy Body written by Kenneth Smith and published by Bear. This book was released on 2008-05-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to understanding and enhancing the functionality of the human energy body • Shows how the energy body and its interactions are the principal determinant of all we see, feel, think, or otherwise perceive • Details strategic skills to manage the infinite alternate realities available to the energy body Each of us inhabits an energy body whose interactions are the principal determinant of all we see, feel, think, or otherwise perceive. Even as modern science is establishing the uncertainty of physical matter, it is asserting the reality of our existence as interconnecting quantum energy fields. For over 5,000 years, shamans of the Toltec tradition have studied and worked with the energy body, learning to recognize and understand its structure and perceptual capacities as well as mapping it as an objective, measurable part of our anatomy. In Awakening the Energy Body, Kenneth Smith’s thorough grounding in the Toltec tradition allows him to bring forth an instructive overview for non-Toltec adherents of the latent possibilities available to the energy body and how to bring awareness and objective form to it. Using evidence from the emerging scientific discipline of bioenergetics, which studies the flow and exchange of energy, Smith shows that conscious awareness not only creates our reality but enhances the functionality of the human energy body, allowing it to navigate the myriad realities of our world. He offers a specific set of strategies to manage the energy body in ways that are beneficial to both material existence and spiritual development. He also discusses the ethical considerations of developing consciousness and how one can quicken personal evolution in order to live a full and complete life, while revealing where the worlds of ancient tradition and modern science meet.

Download or read book The Awakening written by Kate Chopin and published by Modernista. This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 19th-century New Orleans, social constraints are strict, especially for a married woman. Edna Pontellier leads a secure life with her husband and two children, but her restlessness grows within the confined societal norms, and the expectations placed upon her – from her husband and the world around her – create increasing pressure. During a trip to Grand Isle, an island off the coast of Louisiana, her life is turned upside down by an intense love affair, and passion forces her to question the foundations of her – and every woman’s – existence. Kate Chopin's novel The Awakening caused a scandal with its outspokenness when it was published in 1899. The novel’s openly sexual themes and disregard for marital and societal conventions led to it not being reprinted for fifty years. It wasn't until the 1950s that Chopin’s work was rediscovered, and The Awakening received significant acclaim. Today, it is not only seen as an early feminist milestone but also as a classic. KATE CHOPIN [1851–1904] was born in St Louis. She had six children during her marriage, and it wasn't until after her husband's death in 1882 that she emerged as a writer. She published short stories in magazines such as Vogue and The Atlantic, gaining appreciation and recognition for her depictions of the American South. However, she was also criticized for her disregard for social traditions and racial barriers.

Download or read book The Day of Awakening written by Tony Titshall and published by Revway Publications. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE DAY OF AWAKENING is a book of revelation and Self-discovery, challenging our misconceptions and inviting our self-inquiry. It deals with states of awakening to mystical consciousness and the true nature of man. It speaks of the path of initiation and includes examples of the highs and lows of every man's earnest endeavor to accommodate and adjust to himself as he goes through the inevitable changes encountered on the way to Self-realization. But before we can proceed on the path of enlightenment, there are aspects of the spiritual life that need to be understood, facets of every righteous man's journey, about which he may entertain false concepts and universal beliefs, such as: this world, healing, supply, mind, and body. In this book, a Mystic's Manual, all these are dealt with, as well as aspects of belief that assail man: what is Law, the effects of karma, understanding the nature of God, error, and prayer; meditation, forgiveness, and the truth of Individual Being. It contains the wisdom of the ages in simple, contemporary parable, poetry, and illustration, interwoven with Scripture. Like a germinating seed breaching the confines and limitations of its shell, it is the Call of Awakening, leaving us ultimately with no choice but to respond to the irresistible unfoldment of Soul, whose revelations of the moment lead man to an understanding of the truth of his being and his oneness with God. Life then becomes an awareness of the Living Word and not just words, such that thereafter everything speaks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to "meditate with the body"? Until you answer this question, explains Reggie Ray, meditation may be no more than a mental gymnastic —something you can practice for years without fruitful results. In Touching Enlightenment, the esteemed author of five books about Buddhist history and practice guides you back to the original practice of the Buddha: a systematic process that results in a profound awareness in your body rather than in your head. Combining the scholarship that has earned him international renown with original insights from nearly four decades practicing and teaching meditation, Reggie Ray invites you to explore: How to enter fully into communion with your embodied natureThe insights of Tibetan yoga, from guidance on breathing and working with discomfort to its challenge to modern practitioners on the path to realizationWhy "rejected" experience becomes imprinted in the body —and how to receive it anew to reconstitute your human way of being Karma of cause and karma of result —taking full responsibility for your lifeYour three bodies—the physical, the interpersonal, and the cosmic "To be awake, to be enlightened, is to be fully and completely embodied. To be fully embodied means to be at one with who we are, in every respect, including our physical being, our emotions, and the totality of our karmic situation," writes Reggie Ray. In Touching Enlightenment, he offers you a map of unprecedented clarity and power for embarking on the journey toward ultimate realization in and through the body.

Download or read book The Awakening Life Force Energy written by Pane Andov and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of long research, filtering data and firsthand experience, the author has concluded that the human race has been and still is exploited in so many ways by at least a few extraterrestrial species. These extraterrestrial species have been around for at least 12,000 years. He also concluded that there is sufficient evidence that not all extraterrestrial species present in this solar system are negative and manipulative in nature, and that they are sometimes in conflict with the abusive ones. Some species want to help human species reactivate its lost genetic functionality and to evolve again, while others want to keep the "status quo" of human perception and understanding, so they can continue their deceptive and exploitative activities as long as they can. The effort to try to understand what is going on, from the input generated only by the five senses, is not enough for the human race to fully understand what is happening and how to break free from this subtle manipulation and deception. He agrees that it is a start and necessary part of the process, but according to him, the real chance for humans getting their freedom back, is in the awakening of their latent potentials. Therefore, at this stage of the book, he is slowly and gradually moving towards the explanation about the human consciousness and its connection to the Force. Therefore, the power within is explained in full detail. From ancient Qi Gong system trained in parallel with Shaolin Kung Fu, to Tai Chi Chuan, ancient Kundalini Yoga, Pranayama and Tantra Yoga system...the Qi, Chi, Prana or Kundalini, whatever terminology we want to use for this power within, a full overview is given. A complete overview of the Remote Viewing (RV) process is given and how it can be utilized by the consciousness to its fullest. The author fully explains that at the beginning stage of the RV, the observation and the extraction of information is limited only to the Etheric Plane of existence, but in time, as the training stage progresses, the student becomes capable of taking a step further by replacing the RV with a direct projection of the consciousness into the Astral Plane. Astral projection refers to an out of body experience during which the astral body leaves the physical body and travels to the Astral dimension. The book also deals with dreaming programs of holographic nature; why we are perceiving them inside the Astral Plane or how they are artificially manifested inside our consciousness. A complete elaboration of four sources that the dreaming programs can originate from, are given. The author takes the entire human understanding of what dreams really are to a whole new level. There are many reasons for such holographic deception. Some of them are to not allow humans to have controlled astral excursions that will reveal the daily presence of alien ships inside the Astral Plane, not visible from the physical dimension. Furthermore, these conscious astral excursions will also reveal that these large flying objects are sending smaller flying vehicles or plasma orbs to perform various tasks, such as alien abductions, implantation of microscopic tracking devices or alien implants, alien cross breeding and genetic engineering programs, as well as many other activities that the human population is not aware that are happening. The book deals with many different subjects combined in one powerful unity. It explains author's personal view of the Universe, how it came to be and how it functions. The author explains that the life force itself is coming from higher dimensions of the Universe, through a medium called Psionic medium. Once the necessary theoretical input is provided to the reader, the author is slowly turning the book into a training manual for awakening human latent potentials. For all truth seekers, esoteric practitioners and UFO researchers, it is a life-changing book. (c) Pure Tranquility http: //puretranquilitypublishing.com/the-awakening-life-force-energ
